Everton sacked Ronald Koeman after they dropped into the bottom three of the Premier League after a humiliating 5-2 loss to Arsenal over the weekend. U23 coach, David Unsworth takes temporary charge and is the favourite to land the full-time position.

When the Everton board handed Ronald Koeman £140m to turn Everton into a team capable of barging their way into the Champions League qualification places, buying Gylfi Sigurdsson, Michael Keane, and Davy Klaassen, was like buying a snowblower when you live in LA.

The Dutchman’s failure to find a replacement for Romelu Lukaku after the Belgian signed for Man Utd in a £75m move is one of the primary reasons he now has another sacking on his resume.

During two seasons at Southampton, Koeman won the Premier League Manager of the Month award three times, finishing seventh and sixth despite having to hold together a squad of players being picked apart by the league’s best clubs.
